Meet our Crew
Captain Mark Russell
Captain Mark has spent a lifetime pursuing adventure on and beneath the water. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, his sailing journey began at just 13 years old when he completed his RYA Day Skipper course while cruising the English and French coasts.
He later earned a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology from the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yachtmaster certification while working as both a dive guide and RIB pilot. His passion for diving has taken him around the world, logging thousands of dives, including a remarkable 4.5-hour rebreather dive to 260 feet exploring a World War II wreck in Vanuatu.
For more than 17 years, Mark has built an impressive career in luxury yachting, earning both his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 Engineer licenses. Among the highlights of his career was serving aboard the race vessel Earthrace, where he and a crew of four circumnavigated the globe in just 60 days aboard a 78-foot power yacht—a world record that still stands today.
Whether introducing guests to hidden anchorages, sharing his love of the Virgin Islands, or simply delivering a safe and unforgettable charter, Mark brings extraordinary experience, professionalism, and enthusiasm to every voyage.
Chef Elena Bellotti
Proud of her Italian heritage, Chef Elena Bellotti brings the warmth, flavors, and traditions of Italy to every meal she prepares. Formally trained in the culinary arts, she combines classic Italian techniques with international influences to create personalized menus that delight guests throughout their charter.
With more than five years of experience aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans, Elena has developed a thoughtful approach to onboard dining, balancing creativity with careful attention to each guest's individual tastes and preferences. Her culinary training is complemented by certifications in Silver Service and second-level wine appreciation, allowing her to deliver an elevated dining experience both in the galley and at the table.
For Elena, one of the greatest joys of yachting is meeting new guests each week, learning what they love, and creating memorable meals that bring people together. She believes food is about more than nourishment—it's about sharing happiness, culture, and a little piece of Italy with every dish she serves.
Steward Jesse Hearne — Bio
Growing up just steps from the beach in Cape Town, South Africa, Jesse Hearne developed a lifelong passion for the ocean at an early age. Whether surfing, bodyboarding, wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing, or kneeboarding, life on the water has always been second nature.
Jesse began his yachting career in 2015, where he discovered a love for snorkeling and scuba diving that eventually led him to earn his PADI Divemaster certification. More recently, he has split his seasons between working as a watersports instructor and boat driver at a summer camp in Massachusetts and serving as a snorkeling guide on ocean safari tours along the spectacular coastline of Cape Town.
His enthusiasm for the marine environment, combined with his experience leading guests both on and in the water, makes him a natural fit aboard charter yachts. Whether assisting with watersports, guiding snorkeling adventures, or simply sharing his passion for the ocean, Jesse is dedicated to helping every guest experience the beauty and excitement of life at sea.
Known for his approachable personality and adventurous spirit, Jesse looks forward to welcoming guests aboard and creating unforgettable memories on the water.

Guest Testimonials
May 2026
Ripple Crew, our vision, hopes, and dreams for our bucket-list trip were blown away by the most phenomenal, wonderful trip. We are in awe of our experience.
A heartfelt “thank you” seems to fall short of expressing our sincere appreciation for this trip. Awesome! Come visit us!
May 2026
Dear Ripple Crew, thank you again for a wonderful week in paradise. We had an amazing time and will cherish the memories. Much love.
May 2026
Vicki and I thank you for a fantastic seven days of life on the water. A once-in-a-lifetime trip that we hope to experience again.
You provided an incredible experience that we will rave about to everyone we meet. The experience, hospitality, attention to detail, and patience with all of us are what made this the greatest vacation experience we’ve ever had.
Until next time — we loved every memorable moment.
May 2026
Ripple Crew, this was our first boat trip ever, and you all made it memorable. Ever grateful for this moment. Your warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail made us feel cared for.
My favorite moments were snorkeling over the Rhone shipwreck and our “penguin” diving off the boat in Great Bay. My wife, Jackie, needed this time off, and this trip hit the spot.
Thank you again for all your hard work and commitment to making everything enjoyable. Wishing you much success.
May 2026
Ripple Crew, what a great trip of diving and fully relaxing. One of my favorite places on Earth. Looking forward to the next trip!
April 2026
We set sail for new adventures, explored shipwrecks, and took the plunge at Willy T’s.
Captain Mark took the reluctant penguin scuba diving and, with his powerful gaze into Shane’s eyes, gave him enough courage to dive exactly one foot deeper on Day Two. While Todd was gracefully e-foiling around the island, the rest of the penguins explored and tossed a football for a record number of catches without a drop, while Julie gracefully floated and soaked up the sun.
After wild nights of playing cards and staying up until 9:45, we ended with ceremonial penguin dives and a shot of Fireball.
The beauty of the islands, boat, and sunsets was amazing, but the true treasure we found was in the time we had together. Thanks to the best, Captain Mark. Until next time.
April 2026
Thank you all for creating a beautiful adventure for our family. Mark, you have such a calm but magnetic presence, and your love for sailing is contagious.
Your crew is so lovely and fun, and I can tell you have an amazing perspective on life. Your excitement and inclusivity energize everyone around you. I’m not usually an ocean person — I usually prefer the mountains — but you all have given me a new appreciation for all of the beauty here.
We had such an amazing time. Thank you for your patience. It was the best second birthday a little guy could ask for. Come fly with us in Sedona!
April 2026
We all -totally- enjoyed our week on the Ripple!
Beyond fabulous!
Very clean. Very well-maintained. Very comfortable cabin–well, we got Cabin 1! Cockpit and topside–excellent shade, comfy, relaxing.
EVERY SINGLE water toy option was used, and ENJOYED! For our 13 year old, the e-foil was the hit of the week. Everyone liked it, but he mastered it readily, and rode it for hours at every opportunity. The snorkeling was excellent, and the scuba divine, Wonderful water everywhere, full of life–and. it was warm!
Mate Caitlin paid attention to our Preference Sheets, and was the bestest bartender, even reading our minds on occasion! She introduced us to painkillers!
Captain Mark and Mate Caitllin–well, we can’t find enough superlatives to praise everything about their contributions to our week! Every positive adjective and adverb you can think of about a BVI charter experience they embody utterly! Always warm, friendly, so knowledgeable about the boat and sailing and safety–how many times can we say WONDERFUL EVERYTHING?!
Could have stayed for another week!
Excellent in every way! Loved our ports of call, loved our anchorages, loved the flow of each and every day.
~Gayle
April 2026
Ripple Crew, thank you for such an amazing week on Ripple. We had a wonderful time. It was such a blessing to be able to do so many things, from scuba to e-foil to jumping off the boat. It filled my love of adventure.
The crew were so amazing. They took care of our every need, and we couldn’t have had a better group. Lots of laughs together. May God bless you all. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
April 2026
Awesome week! Everything was fun and joyful. E-foiling was the biggest and best hit. Love always, best wishes, and happy sailing to you all.
April 2026
Thank you for an amazing week. Thank you for keeping us all safe and always making sure we had a wonderful drink in our hands. This experience has exceeded all of our expectations.
The diving has been wonderful, game night was so much fun, and karaoke was the perfect way to spend our last evening together. Best wishes to all of you.

Our Amazing Adventure on Ripple
Our experience — our first time on a private charter — more than exceeded anything we had anticipated. It was highlighted by great food, wonderful excursions, thoughtful conversation, and lots of laughs.
You all created the atmosphere for us to enjoy ourselves and create memories of a lifetime. Bittersweet as we remember and honor our dear friend. So grateful for new friendships and shared love.
March 2026
Dear Mark and Crew, this amazing, relaxing, restorative trip has been made extra special by you. We enjoyed every moment — the food, the workings of the boat, Mark’s excellent seamanship, the nimble crew always ready, and the wonderful meals.
You have become part of our friend group. Favorite memories? So many. Karaoke would have to be one of them!
Thank you for all you did to pamper us, keep us from falling in, and make us feel like part of your family. Be well and happy. We will think of you often.
March 2026
What a wonderful week! We cannot thank you enough, Captain Mark and crew, for all you did. The memories created will last a lifetime.
March 2026
Dear Mark and Crew, thanks so much to each of you for making our Virgin Islands vacation a smashing success. Mark, your expertise in navigating the catamaran to the key hotspots — and your jokes — added so much to our enjoyment.
Your crew attended to all our needs in a cheerful and respectful way while also handling all the responsibilities aboard the catamaran in a first-rate manner. Each and every one of the meals was delicious, beautifully presented, and cheerfully served.
We cannot put into words how appreciative we all are for the wonderful adventure you created for us.

Thank you all for an absolutely amazing trip. You each helped create memories that will last a lifetime. We hope this will just be the beginning of new and long friendships.
The food was awesome, the scenery perfect, but the company was the very best part. Without the magic that each of you brought to this experience, it would not have been nearly as memorable.
Captain Mark, you made it very clear that you take no crap — especially from a rude frog! Your heart of service is so evident in the thoughtfulness and care you showed us, and I could taste love in every bite of food that was made for us. What an awesome week!

Thank you for an amazing week! Your company, food, tips, and tricks will be missed.
For this being my first time on a boat, I am particularly spoiled and will only do private charters now — booking you for sure if available! Appreciate you all and hope to see you sooner than later.

First off, thank you all so much for the time, effort, enthusiasm, and patience in taking care of our group. I had such an incredible experience and always felt like you all created a very welcoming environment for so many different types of people in our group.
Second, you are just simply cool people to talk to! Thank you for engaging us, sharing with us, and educating us along the way on fish, food, and all things chartering. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you all for an amazing few days aboard Ripple. We had the best time and appreciate all the great swimming, snorkeling, diving, amazing food, drinks, service, and even better company.
Thank you for actually getting us to catch a fish after 25+ charters — and getting to eat it for dinner was even better! Thanks again for the hospitality. Looking forward to more charters in the future.

The absolute BEST vacation we have ever taken—and we have been on 30+ vacations. Mark, Kate, and Nela were a huge part of why we all loved our adventure. Everything was perfect. The yacht was clean and well-maintained. Our cabins were comfortable. The cockpit was comfortable, and there was enough shade. Nela cooked us 5+ delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, appetizers, and snacks. Mark and Kate were amazing as well. Kate served us hand and foot, and Mark (main Captain) took us to the coolest places and was overall awesome. I want to go back! The pace and itinerary were perfect. 5/5 Stars!

A High Bar We'll Remember
Couldn't have had a better time - great snorkeling plus your selection of quiet beaches, diligence and good humor all the time. A really high bar we'll remember. All your hard work and kindness does not go unnoticed.

So Truly Special
Thanks for all the little things you have done to make this vacation so truly special.
The wonderful food, your cheerfulness, the special cocktails and most special - diving, snorkeling and all the curated time where you handled all the details so that all we needed to do was relax. Looking forward to meeting up somewhere in the future.
